"Ricky Bobby"
My cars have gender. A hot tempered, short, wide, loud, and incorrigible Cobra is a "he", whereas my civilized, quiet, and well behave SUV is a "she".
On the other hand, my wife refers to her 345 hp VW Touareg V8 as "Otto Von Volkswagen", and it is a "he". Otto is powerful and fast, with a raspy V8 note, so...
I think for us is a matter of attitude...
